Just something I whipped together.

I'd like to work out a fully articulable robot using this, but after I 
got to the shoulder I lost motivation :(  All joints shown are poseable.

I've been there.  Povved an entire robot capable of being posed.  I got to 
the end of the modelling and did 75% of the posing code and then just needed 
to finish it.  I really lost motivation as well, in fact I went from using 
POV several times a week to not using for over a month.  Talk about 
burn-out!

Cheers Dre

That seems to happen to me a lot.  I have a lot of aircraft that are about 75%
complete with control surfaces that can be positioned via macro, but I never
finish them.  Some only have a few things left, usually texturing, others are
held up due to math problems or dissatisfaction with the model.


The one bit of solace you can take comes from the fact that months down the
line, you'll look it over and go "Wow, it is nearly done!  Why did I ever set
it aside??"
